A {\it tree}, is defined here as the underlying space $ |K| $ of a A {\it tree}, is defined here as the underlying space $ |K| $ of a
finite $ 1 $-connected $ 1 $-dimensional simplicial complex $ K $ and finite $ 1 $-connected $ 1 $-dimensional simplicial complex $ K $ with

a \emph{square} $ u:I^{2} \longrightarrow X $ in a topological space $ X $ is \emph{thin} if there a \emph{square} $ u:I^{2} \longrightarrow X $ in a topological space $ X $ is \emph{thin} if there
is a factorisation of $ u $, $$ u : I^{2} \stackrel{\Phi_{u}}{\longrightarrow} is a factorisation of $ u $, $$ u : I^{2} \stackrel{\Phi_{u}}{\longrightarrow}
